It's probably a bit of a pity to disable this package on uClibc just
because of this missing structure. I have no idea why uClibc has it
just in the aarch64 headers, because on both glibc and musl, it's
defined in a completely generic way.

So here is my proposal:

 (1) Unbundle libkqueue from zeek, by creating a separate libkqueue
     package (BTW zeek should be investigated further, it contains
     several bundled libraries, and it should preferably use external
     packages instead of bundled libraries).

 (2) Add a patch in libkqueue that checks for the availability of
     f_owner_ex, and if not available, provides its own definition.

 (3) Send a patch to uClibc to add the missing f_owner_ex definition.

Do you think you could have a look into this?

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
